Dr. St. Louis Estes, 74-year-old “dynamic breather” and ---. | raw food eater, yesterday predicted that if Americans stop House Patents Committee eating cooked food and learn ta breathe deeply, we’ll be a Hears Testimony of Dirigible Expert Theory Disputed by Wiley Commander Believes Guard Around Hangar Made Sabotage Unlikely WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—«XE>— Somebody deliberately poured acid on a metal girder of the Macon and sent the dirigible to Its destruction ln the Pacific ocean. Roy W. Knabenshue, an expert on lighter-than-air craft, told the house patents committee today. Sabotage also Teas responsible for the loss of the Akron off the Atlantic coast more than a year ago, he said. Knabenshue's theory was disputed by Commander Herbert W. Wilev, who was in charge of the Macon on its last flight. From Sunnyvale, he had this to say about Knabenshue’s testimony: Wiley Not Sure *T don’t believe sabotage could have been possible. We always maintained a heavy guard around the Macon hangar,*and frequently conducted close inspections of the ship. Another reason I believe sabotage would have been highly improbable is that officers were in the part of the Macon that collapsed less than half an hour before the accident.” Read Admiral Ernest J. King, chief of naval operations, was not prepared to make such a definite refutation of Knabenshue’* theory. Sabotage Possible •'Sabotage always is a distinct! possibility,” he said, "although I. think we will have to wait until an official inquiry has determined i the cause of destruction.” Knabenshue, who was sent to j Paris as a lighter-than-air expert after America's entrance into the ' [World war. may testify before the j house naval affairs committee when > lit begins its inquiry into the Macon crash. Mess Boy’s Death Suspicious He said it was "extremely suspicious" that one of the two per-ons who died aboard the Macon vas a Filipino mess boy of “Jap-mese extraction.” implying that rhe mess boy might have sacrificed lis life to wreck the ship. race of supermen in f»0 years. “I foresee an average life span of lOi) to 150 years, as soon as people learn to eat their food ----^raw and breathe correctly—that is with th. brains and feet,” Dr. Estes said. Dr. Estes has just returned from a tour of the country. He was highly gratified to observe that more and more people are gnawing upon potatoes, carrots, parsnips and rutabagas unsullied by fire or hot water. ‘Dead Food’ “Cooked food,’’ he said, “is dead food.” The ‘‘dynamic breathing” is the latest gadget, and ls even more important than eating raw food, according to the doctor. It involves standing on tip-toe, pulling in your stomach and throwing out your chest, and taking whoops of air until your toes tingle. “Most folks breathe through their lungs,” the doctor explained. “That takes only six muscles. I breathe with my brains and feet and every part of my body—which takes 38 muscles.” Making: Raw Food Eaters For 38 years Dr. Estes, a stocky white-haired man with horn-rimmed spectacles, has been trying to make raw-food eaters out of Americans. He also is founder of the “back to nature” movement and ls father of ten children—the youngest six months old. “Suppose you eat a dinner of meat, potatoes, vegetable, salad, bread, coffee and nie—or pie a la mode,” he said. ‘That’s 100 per cent volume, and about six per cent nutrition. Bad Oxidation “Now you breathe the ordinary way. You eret about six per cent oxidation. The rest of the food overloads the system. My method is to work at both ends—eat raw foods, which are not acid and poisonous, and breathe deeply. “That burns up the live food, and you get 100 per cent nutrition and 100 per cent oxidation.” And if you don’t do this, vou will find your hair falling off. your tenth drooping out. your fingernails missing .and what-not—according to the doctor. “And what about meat?” your correspondent asked, meat raw. too.” “I don’t eat meat,” Dr. Estes said “It’s poison." Chairman William I. Sirovich of he committee said he would call the navy to cease hiring for-igners as cooks on aircraft and ighting ships. Pausing in the midst of their successful run at the Belasco theater, the cast of the outstanding hit of the current Los Angeles dramatic season, “Merrily We Roll Along,” will take time out Thursday noon.

Feb. 25.—(UJ?)—Five hundred foot and fifty mounted police were rushed to the vicinity of parliament tonight to quell threat of riots in and around the house of commons against the MacDonald ministry’s unemployment relief bill. Demonstrators were massing about parliament, reportedly to aid their comrades inside the commons lobby and galleries, where disturbances occurred earlier in the evening, interrupting debate, and seeking to embarrass Prime Minister J. Ramsay MacDonald. The mobs inside the building increased to 400 angry men, together with several women’. Mcb Chants Chorus They suddenly burst into a chorus, chanting: “Down with the national government!” They sought to surround members of the house, but police promptly cleared the mob. They departed, shouting defiance, and marching in the direction of White Hall. Two occupants of the gallery, who had interrupted debate on the unemployment measure by shouting and throwing green handbills to the floor, were detained in the commons police room until after the.close of the night session, when they were to be released. Cries Break Out During: Speech Cries of “Down with the national government!” and “Do something about unemployment,” broke out during a speech by Major Walter Elliot, minister of agriculture, on the cattle subsidy project. v Elliot broke off his speech, A wave of handbills attacking the government descended on the , , ; members, many picking them up >ou ea anfj reacjing them while police ejected the disturbers from the galleries. Reject Investigation Earlier in the session, governmental officials put up a stone wall of opposition to further demands by members for a governmental investigation of the disastrous Pepper pool and other speculations resulting in the recent Mincing-Lane crisis. James &• Shakespeare, Ltd., was the first of three old-established London brokerage firms to go to the wall in the collapse of the pool that tried unsuccessfully to “corner” the world’s supply of white pepper.

Feb. 25.—<C.P>— The millions of tons of steel that Eugene Grace manufactured to help the United States fight the World war on land and sea brought him bonuses of $3,669,756 in three years. The president of the Bethlehem Steel and Shipbuilding corporations appeared before the senate munitions committee today and in between the rows of figures that told of the fabulous profits of the war he sandwiched chunks of his personal philosophy of war and peace. In theory, Grace said, he holds that conflict between nations is brutal and unnecessary and he would be pleased to “cease making any kind of war equipment.” But he considers war to be a fact, not a theory, and he denounced proposals to draft industry in wartime or to make conflict unprofitable by levying a 100 per cent tax on the profits of firms that manufacture weapons and ships. That Processors Grew Rich During Slump House Must Approve Bill Federal Trade Commission Granted $150,000 To Carry on Inquiry WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—O)— The senate authorized an investigation today of charges by Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont., that food processors grew rich during the depression, purchasing yachts and expensive automobiles while farmers lost their farms and consumers were pressed to pay their grocery bills. It voted to give the federal trade commission $150,000 for an investigation of the costs of producing and distributing foods to consumers. The resolution, which must be approved by the house, directs the commission to inquire into charges that monopoly and unfair competition were responsible for decline in farmers’ incomes, and authorizes the commission to examine the financial records of any corporation engaged in producing or distributing food products. Sidetracked Early Wheeler introduced a similar resolution in the 73rd congress, but it was sidetracked in the closing days. In reintroducing it he struck at critics of the agricultural adjustment administration's processing taxes. The resolution has the support of AAA officials and of Rex-ford G. Tugwell, undersecretary of agriculture whom Wheeler defended last year when he was forced to explain his fitness for a farm post to a senate committee. The senate received formal notice of a contest by Dennis Chavez, D„ N.M., for the seat held by Sen. Bronson Cutting, R., N.M. Chavez charged fraud and illegal balloting gave Cutting his slim majority last November. Bitterness Echoed The challenge was an echo of the bitterness which resulted when the Democrats sought to defeat Cutting after he had bolted the Republican party in 1932 to support Franklin D. Roosevelt. Chavez charged Irregularities in five counties—San Miguel, Torrence, Valencia, Tace and Guadalupe. Cutting declined to comment, but said that if Chavez wanted a recount in those counties he would demand a recount of all state ballots.

DALLAS. Feb. 25.—<U.E> — The greatest manhunt in Texas since Clyde Barrow was tracked down and killed, was aimed tonight at Raymond Hamilton, escaped convict and killer. The fleeing desperado was wounded in a clash with officers at McKinney last night. Federal, state and local officers watched highways throughout the nWthem section of the state. Their cars were traveling arsenals. Hamilton, with a criminal companion not yet identified, was believed to be fleeing southward from Fort Worth. His trail was picked up late today after he had released three farm boys seized u hostages. He freed them between Mansfield and Cleburne. 30 miles south of Fort Worth, and warned them not to report to officers until they returned to their homes near McKinney, 80 miles distant. The frightened boys obeyed. Hamilton geve them their automobile, after stealing a new one in Fort Worth. The three hostages were L. B. Harlow, Buster Mr^s and J. C. Loft ice. Mays told of a wild ride with Hamilton and his companion through Denton and Fort Worth. He said Hamilton was "plenty sore" over his near capture at McKinney. Y.W.C.A. Freshman Club Will Welcome New Women Today The freshman club of the Y.W. C A. win welcome all new freshmen women into the organization today at 12:15 In the Y house. Joyce Rippe will be chairman of the entertainment. The program which she has planned will includ? a violin solo, “Spanish Dance.” by Glorya Curran; an interpretative reading by Isabel Hanawalt: a piano solo, “Fire Dance.” by Gertrude Bames: a reading, "The Nine Little Cakes,” by Harriet Wiley; and a vocal solo, “Trees/* by Martha Folsom. All new freshmen women are cordially Invited by Ellen Holt, president of the organization to attend. After selecting the Rancho country club as the site for the Jewish Student council’s first annual spring dance to be given on Saturday, March 16, members of the organization’s executive committee met yesterday further to outline plans. Arrangements for the dance, the club’s first social event of the semester, are being conducted for the purpose of advancing the council’s semi-social program adopted last January. The program aims to develop and co-ordinate the activities of j Jewish students on the campus. Irving Baum, in charge of ticket j sales, said that bids for the dance I will be placed on sale this after- 1 noon by members of the ticket ; committee and by the organiza- ; tion’s officers. Bids may be purchased for one dollar. He indicated that the selection of the Rancho country club was j made after consideration of several! dancing places by the committee-in-charge. Baum then called meeting of the general advisory committee for Thursday afternoon, February 28, at 2:30 o’clock. It will be held in 258 Administration building. Members of the group expected to attend are: Jane Cassel, Elsie Rothman. Eleanor Neft. Hyman Tyre, Ruth Coine. Ben Fremer, Barney Katz, Bud Simon, Arthur Groman. Victor Schulmaif Ruth Romoff, Nathan Tanchuck, Mildred Pclep, Eleanor Slobodien, Sybil Silberstein. Bernice Holtzman. Gabriel Blumenthal, Irving Klubeck, and Leon Berger. ‘‘The Abas string quartet affords an unusual opportunity to hear beautiful music, informally, in attractive surroundings,” is the comment which Miss Alderman made in describing the program and setting for the concerts. The personnel of the quartet is: Nathan Abas, first violin; Theodore Norman, second violin; Abraham Weiss, viola; and Fritz Gaillard, ’cello. They are all artists of distinction in the estimation of music critics, and according to authorities, they need no introduction to southem California music lovers after the tremendous ovations at their debut appearances in Los Angeles in December. Members of this group are intensely interested in educational work in music, which fact is shown by the number of open rehearsals, one of which was held at S.C. recently, for students desirous of becoming more familiar with the great chamber music works. These rehearsals are of an informal nature and students have the opportunity to discuss the works and composers with the artists. The value of such rehearsals, as stressed by the quartet, is that of “offering a means for giving young people a maturer and deeper musical appreciation.” Works of Stravinsky, Beethoven, and Haydn comprise the program of the first concert to be presented on campus. Season tickets for the complete series are being sold for $1.00, and tickets for individual performances are 40 cents each. a ! Those desirous of attending these musical attractions may purchase tickets at either the Student Union ticket office, or at the School of Music office, in the Music building.

Acid on Girder Cause of Macon Wreck Is Claim
‘Breathe Deeply W ith Y our Brains and Feet-Way to Health/ Declares Doctor
S.C. Will Fete Theatre Stars
Luncheon To Be Given by Play Group for Actors In Belasco Drama
Br TTnited Pt-ees.
Dr. St. Louis Estes, 74-year-old “dynamic breather” and
---. | raw food eater, yesterday predicted that if Americans stop
House Patents Committee eating cooked food and learn ta breathe deeply, we’ll be a Hears Testimony of Dirigible Expert
Theory Disputed by Wiley
Commander Believes Guard Around Hangar Made Sabotage Unlikely
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—«XE>—
Somebody deliberately poured acid on a metal girder of the Macon and sent the dirigible to Its destruction ln the Pacific ocean. Roy W. Knabenshue, an expert on lighter-than-air craft, told the house patents committee today.
Sabotage also Teas responsible for the loss of the Akron off the Atlantic coast more than a year ago, he said.
Knabenshue's theory was disputed by Commander Herbert W.
Wilev, who was in charge of the Macon on its last flight. From Sunnyvale, he had this to say about Knabenshue’s testimony:
Wiley Not Sure
*T don’t believe sabotage could have been possible. We always maintained a heavy guard around the Macon hangar,*and frequently conducted close inspections of the ship. Another reason I believe sabotage would have been highly improbable is that officers were in the part of the Macon that collapsed less than half an hour before the accident.”
Read Admiral Ernest J. King, chief of naval operations, was not prepared to make such a definite refutation of Knabenshue’* theory.
Sabotage Possible
•'Sabotage always is a distinct! possibility,” he said, "although I. think we will have to wait until an official inquiry has determined i the cause of destruction.”

----^raw and breathe correctly—that is
with th. brains and feet,” Dr. Estes said.
Dr. Estes has just returned from a tour of the country. He was highly gratified to observe that more and more people are gnawing upon potatoes, carrots, parsnips and rutabagas unsullied by fire or hot water.
‘Dead Food’
“Cooked food,’’ he said, “is dead food.”
The ‘‘dynamic breathing” is the latest gadget, and ls even more important than eating raw food, according to the doctor. It involves standing on tip-toe, pulling in your stomach and throwing out your chest, and taking whoops of air until your toes tingle.
“Most folks breathe through their lungs,” the doctor explained. “That takes only six muscles. I breathe with my brains and feet and every part of my body—which takes 38 muscles.”
Making: Raw Food Eaters For 38 years Dr. Estes, a stocky white-haired man with horn-rimmed spectacles, has been trying to make raw-food eaters out of Americans. He also is founder of the “back to nature” movement and ls father of ten children—the youngest six months old.
“Suppose you eat a dinner of meat, potatoes, vegetable, salad, bread, coffee and nie—or pie a la mode,” he said. ‘That’s 100 per cent volume, and about six per cent nutrition.
Bad Oxidation
“Now you breathe the ordinary way. You eret about six per cent oxidation. The rest of the food overloads the system. My method is to work at both ends—eat raw foods, which are not acid and poisonous, and breathe deeply.
“That burns up the live food, and you get 100 per cent nutrition and 100 per cent oxidation.”
And if you don’t do this, vou will find your hair falling off. your tenth drooping out. your fingernails missing .and what-not—according to the doctor.
“And what about meat?” your correspondent asked, meat raw. too.”
“I don’t eat meat,” Dr. Estes said “It’s poison."
